Kate doesn't need a Prince to go to Boujis

Living the single life: Kate Middleton revisited some of the clubs she used to attend with ex-boyfriend Prince William

The 25-year-old looked sleek in a black dress as she joined her friends for dinner at a Thai restaurant in Chelsea before hitting the dancefloor of royal haunt Boujis nightclub in South Kensington.

Last week Kate put the end of her five-year romance with William behind her by partying the night away in Mayfair's Mahiki nightclub and her choice of venue last night was also interesting.

Both clubs are places where the former couple spent nights out together.

Kate-watchers reckon this is a signal of her determination to prove that life goes on for her and she will not be inhibited by any associations of the past.

For all the snobbish talk that surrounded Kate's break-up, there is certainly one trick both Princes William and Harry could learn from Miss Middleton.

Namely the art of leaving a nightclub at 2.30am with poise and dignity as opposed to stumbling out or taking a swipe at the nearest photographer.
